Contemplating versus experimenting

[Eric Tarpall]

Currently my belief is that you can only get knowledge by exploring the world. And by trying new things. And you can't pull knowledge out of your ass by contemplating or thinking. If you close your eyes you only have access to the knowledge that you already have. That's my assumption. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Why stop at contemplation and thinking?

Go to what You are, before the you was born.

Your assumtions are based on the dormant perspective. 

Once we awaken there are vast possibilities to acceess knowledge.

You can mix information that you already have to create something new and effective. The more you learn/experience the more ingredients you have to mix.

Oh yeah that's true. I forgot about that. I was in a very narrow mind space when I wrote this topic.

They go hand in hand. Experience gives way to thought and emotion. Those thoughts and emotions are then fodder for contemplation.
